"safety is our number one priority and we removed insulation on hazelwood and adair towers to ensureilored response to individual concerns, including applying damp seal and mould remover." well meanwhile, our colleagues at bbc breakfast have learnt that the extent of the cladding problem is greater than the official statistics published by the government. there are 278 high—rise residential blocks still with acm cladding — the type used on grenfell — across the uk. but there are other types of cladding which put buildings at risk of fire too. through freedom of information requests, the bbc has identified at least 99 high—rise blocks covered in high pressure laminate, or hpl, which is the type of cladding that caught fire at a student housing block in bolton last year. but as many councils could not, or would not, tell how many high—rises have this type of cladding, the true figure is likely to be far higher. we can speak now to dr claire benson who‘s a fire specialist at london southbank university who‘s looked into the issue of cladding and tower block safety. thank you forjoining
